These two sightings made me both happy and sad.
Sighting 1: Canvasco bag
It's been four years since I've seen another Canvasco bag other than the one in my possession. I've been reveling in the fact that I've been such a unique individual (or at least, unaware of my lack of uniqueness) in the city, but alas, it seems that I am unique no more. I believe the lady was sporting a large Urban bag from the Cow line which looked amazing. I wanted to stop her and squeal in synchronized glee, but it probably would have been more effective and less terrifying (to her) if I was toting my own large Urban bag (of the Canvas line). I'm wondering where she got it from? I didn't loiter long enough to hear if she was speaking in English with her companion or with a non-North American accent. After moving back to the city, the first couple people that I saw toting Freitag bags were not native North Americans (I was bold enough at the time to ask them where they got their bag)...but of course now the popularity of Freitag has blossomed so it's not quite as much of a novelty as it is a 'cool club'. *Grin* Also, it seems as thought they're discontinuing the Cooper, which means that soon, I will own a vaguely unique-ish piece. This is a small consolation for knowing that there is another Canvasco toting individual here in the city. In more Freitag news: uh, oh. I thought my next Freitag purchase was going to be easy. My heart's been set on a Hazzard, but this will complicate things.
Anyway, I wish I had asked her about her bag, or at least complimented her on it. People like to be complimented.
Sighting 2: SOMA chocolate's 2nd location
The original Distillery District's location was just enough out of the way that I only indulged once a year and the trip out to the shop was often caused by the need to purchase a gift for someone else. The new King Street West location is exciting (yum!), yet terrifying for my currently svelt (ha!) physique. Googlemaps says that it's a mere 900m away from my doorstep. Can you burn off a truffle in 900 steps?
